Hi DP - your Lymph nodes were negative , right ? Gleason getting up there , BUT it appears the EBRT did its job . How long have you been off ADT . Your PSA is great now at 0.01 . You may have ADT in your system though(?) . Plenty of guys get EBRT after surgery ( 2 year mark is common) Some with ADT , some not . I think most Dr's see what your stat is before using ADT . Gob Bless and let us know .

Hey! Thanks for getting back. Yes, all lymph nodes were clear after surgery. I'm still on Eligard. Just had my 2nd of three 6 month shot 2 months ago so I have a bit to go before I'm off ADT. My PSA rose to .9(started at .2) within 9 months of surgery. I'm feeling great, well outside of the side effects of Eligard, but I'm real worried about when the ADT stops. Thank you so much for reaching out.
